Can. Clear deep gold beer, good cream colour head. Airy palate, smooth, decent fine carbonation. Fairly sweet malts, creamy sweetness getting mildly milky. Hops bring crisp pine and even a little hop spice. Ripe citrus and a little candy fruits. A light finish leave a decent fruity linger. Not bad, just dial down the malt sweetness a bit and dial up the hop bitterness.

Cask at Society Rooms, Macclesfield. Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. There’s citrus and floral hops in the aroma. In the mouth it is quite bitter with a creamy texture but also some underlying sweetness. Floral hops are present inthe flavour from the start, and gradually increase to become quite dominant. There’s also ginger and hints of spice and oranges, leading to a dry finish. This is reasonable.

Cask @ Crystal Palace, Glasgow. Clear deeper brighter golden with a head. Decent amounts of white chocolate are evident in both aroma and taste, but the flavour multiplies in its lingering aftertaste.

Can. A light haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry and has a good fine crispness. Smooth but slightly thin malts, reasonably sweet. Very West Coast style over ripe orange hops, some orange peel. Mild mango. A little floral hop and then a fairly decent hop nibble on the light and crisp finish. Tidy, but West Coast ain't my thing. Still, probably the most hoppy affair I have had from Nethergate.

Strong raspberries on the nose, chocolate, milk and more raspberries in the mouth, raspberry and chocolate aftertaste. Excellent breakfast glug. Really liked it!

1/3 pint, cask at Hamilton Hall. Shared with Finn. Wetherspoon Beer festival, March 24. Clear amber body, bare naked surface, scattered lacing. Mild, mid-dry caramel nose. Taste of vanilla sweet caramel. Prolonged sweetness to the ending. Unvaried and too sweet for a better score. (London, 16.03.2024).

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] An amber pour with a thin off-white head; vanilla aroma; sweet vanilla taste to start, then dry with a bready body and a sour finish. Quite unpleasant.
